Jericoacoara National Park
Parque Nacional de Jericoacoara
A coastal national park encircling Jericoacoara village, with moving dunes, mangroves, reefs and seasonal dune lakes.
Established in 2002, the national park covers about 88 square km. Its area includes the Sunset Dune, the Stone Arch, Serrote Hill, Praia da Malhada, and the mangroves and the mouth of the Guriú River to the west. Inside the park, you can only travel on foot, on horseback or in registered four-wheel-drive vehicles. After the rainy season, clear rainwater lakes appear between the dunes. Entry to Jericoacoara requires paying the Tourism Sustainability Fee (TTA), charged per day. When you take photos or explore, stick to the designated routes and never drive over the dunes.
